Entrevista
Team lead contacted me on Linkedin for a position of a PHP developer to their London office.
1. Skype call
In a couple of days, we had a Skype interview.
It was a general discussion about what I've been doing so far including the standard question "What is the thing/project you've done that you are proud of".
2. Face-to-face: Technical part
Next week it was a face-to-face interview in their office.
There was an example technical project that they used as a ginny pig:
- I had to explain what I see
- How I would add another feature
- Identify "bad smelling" parts and what can be done to improve them.
There were other questions about:
- High load
- A couple of question about MySQL joins, selects, blocking/non-blocking transactions
- Query commits/rollback
- DB performance
3. Face-to-face: CTO
It was a question-answer conversation. Most of the questions from CTO to me were about my motivation and salary desire.
4. Response
I've got an answer the next day - NO. The official reason for that was due to the lack (or I would say formal lack) of the experience with frameworks (Laravel or Symphony).
Overall I have neutral feelings about the whole process.

Entrevista
They made an interview to me. Some very weird questions but fine overall. I never heard back from them.
3 months later, the recruiter whose name starts my Y, sent a private message on linkedin, saying that they where very interested in my profile. I explain to her the bad experience i had with them and she said will not happen again, so i decided to get interviewed again
In this new interview looks like they didnt even know who i was, so good for me
Very similar interview with weird questions.
I never heard them back, but this time i messaged to Y on linkedin. She didnt even reply
Shame
